Love in Christ,

Thank you Joseph, I feel the same way. I would sometimes stumble when this view was thrown at me; particularly when they suggested that I must believe this to be 'saved'. I feel I know what salvation is now, and these views somehow seem to distort my own. I shouldn't let this happen, but I am...

Hi, pattimax... I don't want to point out specifics, but I have my doubts about the wrath, fierce anger, and jealousy of my God. I must admit that I haven't ventured into the OT much in recent days, and I am a bit biased. What God has shown me is in stark contrast to these attributes, so yes...

Prober, I understand this part now, if Jesus was infact God. Still, I have a question: Does it matter if you believe it? Thanks, and... Much Love, edit: I got your answer in previous post; I must have missed it, sorry...

I've been sitting here for thirty minutes trying thinking, trying to understand how Jesus could be God, and respond, but I am at a loss for words for some reason. I've got to give this a great deal more thought. :) Thanks, and... Much Love,

Does it matter if people believe this, though? If not, why do many people squabble about it? Must you beilieve Jesus was God to know God? What about the following? Matthew 4:8-10 8. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of...

Love in Christ,

I think so too, Dondi... I agree again, Dondi... I agree again, lol! :D I think the word comes in seasons; at times we are doers, and become fruitful. At other times we allow ourselves to be choked by our ambitions, and worries of life. In these times we are much less fruitful then...

I wonder if it really matters if a person believes Jesus is God or not? The following came to mind as I was reading this thread. Any thoughts on what he's 'actually' saying here? It sounds to me like those who speak against Jesus will be forgiven... Matthew 12:32-34 32. And whosoever...

The Son of God or the Son of Man? Jesus used both titles in the NT, so what is the Differnce between the two? Much Love,

I feel right with God, but I don't know that I have helped anyone. I can do nothing aside from sharing what God put in my heart. The Love of God is a wonderful thing, and my burden, or rather my priviledge, is to share that Love with others. The pearl is something each person must find...

Are you going to give an interpretation, Quaham? That's what this thread is for. I want to know how other people view the parables. :) Much Love,

"A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who also stripped him and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead." I think the victim represents the lost people of this world. [the bruised, and the wounded in heart] "For the Son of man is come to save...

Fair enough, pattimax...we all share different views, and that is one of the things that makes the Bible so intriguing. You give it to 100 different people, and you end up with 100 different view points. It amazes me at how complex it can be, yet how simple also. I'd Love to continue this...

No question about that, pattimax. What I am suggesting is that things 'begin' to come together when God's Love is embraced. No one should ever stop learning, and I would never suggest that anyone cheat themselves by doing so. A closed mind is a self created snare, and this is true for those who...

Lol, I should have read before I posted; Seth was Adams son... Juantoo, how did you mix up Cain and Seth, and how does Seth's seed play into that parable? I don't think I've heard that interpretation. Even so, you have a sharp understanding of things... Much Love,

Worship is a funny word, imo. I've always had a view of God, and I have fought with God many times in the past, just as I have fought against Jesus. But, I believe deeply in his Love, and with that I honor him. I have come to appreciate life, and creation, birth, and death. I value life, and I...

Matthew 13:4546 45. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46. Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Whats this mean to you juantoo? Much Love,

Was Seth of the seed of Cain? Able had no children that we know of... Much Love

Any interpretation could be accurate for all we know, and I encourage a person to take a deeper look into all parables. That's what they are for, imo... Cain and Able have always intriqued me, and now I think I understand why. [Faith] juantoo, you have a very sharp understanding of...
